There is a juried art show in Hackley Park with a $1,000 prize for best in show for fine art and fine crafts. Meanwhile, the craft exhibitors will have their own competition and you can help determine the winner.

MLive Muskegon Chronicle will again present the 2014 People's Choice Award for the 2014 Lakeshore Art Festival this Friday and Saturday, July 4-5, in downtown Muskegon.

Festival-goers will be able to vote online and from their cellphones for the best craft exhibitor among the approximately 140 crafters in exhibitor booths along West Western Avenue from First to Fourth streets and Fourth Street from West Western to Clay avenues.

"We are excited this year about the crafters," said festival organizer Carla Flanders. "We made a concerted effort that every craft exhibitor this year has made everything in their booth. These are all exhibitor-made products."

Those wanting to vote for the People's Choice Award may do so in the form below this post by the end of the day Friday, July 4. While at the art festival Friday, festival-goers can vote with their cellphones by texting the exhibitor number to 231-215-8827. Look for the exhibitor number at each participating vendor stall, which provides the stall number and the cellphone number that will be collecting text message votes.

Voting is only on Friday as by Saturday morning, July 5, the People's Choice winner will be announced along with the two top runners-up, each receiving plaques to be displayed on the last day of the festival. The three winners also will receive MLive Muskegon Chronicle-provided gift cards from the Lake House, Pints & Quarts and the Hearthstone restaurants in Muskegon.

Last year's People's Choice winner was Bob Knoll from Twin Lake with his craft business Timberline Handcrafted Wood Work, which makes children's furniture, doll furniture and other custom designed pieces.

The 2013 first runner-up was Karen Daniel from Holland and second runner-up Becky and Katie Usiak of Whitehall.

"The crafters bring a unique variety of hand-made products to the festival with items not found in local stores," Flanders said. "They also give us a variety of price points for shoppers. There is something for everyone at the festival from $5 to $500."

The craft exhibitors represent small businesses from all over West Michigan and the Upper Midwest, Flanders said. They deserve festival-goers support, she added.
